Lisbon Objectives: “ a strategic goal for the next

decade”To become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world,capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.PREPARING THE TRANSITION TO A COMPETITIVE, DYNAMIC AND KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY

2002: SMEs research area within eBusiness Unit:- socio-economic analysis (GoDigital, ...)- peculiarities (SMEs, diversity, territories)-> how to turn into strong points? -> which role of ICT , which infrastructure ?- long process

Towards a Global Dynamic Competition : SMEs & local clusters in a knowledge-based global economy• More interrelations • More specialised resources• More R&D / innovation• Access to global value chains • Access to knowledge

Deal with complexity: ecosystem metaphor

•Economy and Society as EcosystemsRothschild,’90: Organisms & organisations are “nodes in networks of

relationships”. Mitleton-Kelly, 2003: Orgs are co-evolving within a social ecosystem

•Business EcosystemsJ.F. Moore, 1993 & 1996

Customers, lead producers, competitors, other stakeholders.“The keystone species” influence the co-evolutionary processes.Interaction (within a business ecosystem); decentralised decision-making and self-organisation.

M. Iansiti and R. Levien, 2004A large number of loosely interconnected participants who depend on each other for their mutual effectiveness and survival.

What is a Digital Ecosystem ? •THE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM

•is a pervasive “digital environment”

•that supports the business ecosystems

•that is populated by “digital components”

•that evolves and adapts to local conditions with the evolution of the components

THE “SOFT” SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH MEDIATES

SERVICES & INFORMATION (knowledge)EMPOWERING THE NETWORKING

AND THEIR SHARING

What is a Digital Component ?•DIGITAL COMPONENTS

•could be: software components, applications, services, knowledge, business processes and models, training modules, contractual frameworks, laws ...

•.... and hopefully a mixture of all these
